What STEM means for Binghamton's MBA

All of our MBA program options have STEM-designation due to their strong focus on quantitative and management sciences. STEM-designated degrees offer students the possibility of academic advancement and employment security.

The STEM-designation is particularly beneficial for international students looking for work in the U.S. Traditionally, with an F-1 visa, graduates are eligible for up to 12 months of Optional Practical Training (OPT) once a degree program is completed. With the STEM-designation, students can apply to extend the OPT period for an additional 24 months.
